Early on Sunday morning, Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr. released a statement on Facebook regarding the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin. He quickly blamed the absence of black members of the jury for the acquittal. “We are saddened and disappointed by this decision. It is a pattern involving young black men that is too often repeating itself. In my view the American legal system has once again failed justice. The jury, no black and no men, was always suspect.”
Jackson then called for peaceful protest rather than violent protest: “The whole world observed this painful conclusion. Every avenue in the law was watching. I hope that no one will compound our pain with street justice. It will do damage to the innocent blood and legacy of Trayvon Martin.”(continued)

Hey Jesse, you are black and a man - I doubt anyone would pick you or your son for jury duty. Pathetic role model you are. So zip it and settle down loser.
So over this person!
I thought there was one black woman on the jury.
I heard two attorneys say this case is not like Rodney because there is no evidence it was racially motivated.
They are blowing hot air - they have a need to be relevant.
There was at least one black man in the jury pool who was excepted by the defense, rejected by the prosecution.
Reported by the talking heads doing try analysis on WFTV.
Jerk. When blacks were/are besmirched for being less than intelligent, Jesse screams “bigotry!” But it’s OK for him to criticize women?
And the prosecution had 50% input in selecting the jurors.
...and a paycheck...
“Jury is your peers” is for the defendant, not the victim.
How’s your baby momma doing, Reverend?
Years ago I watched a news show that had jesse jackson in the studio for an interview.
One of the large studio lamps exploded above him and he hit the ground so very fast and he came up white.
Guess he’s thought someone was after his sorry ass.
Really amusing
A letter writer in the St. Paul Pioneer Press notes: "The past few weeks, the media have been covering the George Zimmerman murder trial gavel to gavel. Can someone tell me why we hear nothing about the 200th murder in Chicago this year. These murders included two children ages 5 and 7 over the Fourth of July weekend."
Why does he think having men on the jury would have been helpful? A black man, yeah that I could see, but what if it was a Spanish man?
Both the victim and the accused were men, so any given man might be sympathetic to either. Any given man, I venture, would have been likely to see this as just something that happens, two guys get in a fight, one loses badly - it all comes down to who started it.
Hey J J! The charges against George Zimmerman were always suspect.
Go soak your head, Jesse.
BTW, how’s the “love chile” doing ?
Jesse Jerkson Declares War On White Women
When Jessie hymie town Jackson or Al Tawana Brawley Sharpton show up just laugh them out of town. And if they don’t go then ride them out on a rail. No Joke. Bust in, load em on, haul em out.
Exactly! JJ is getting his facetime all over the news, ranting about how this wasn’t a jury of Trayvon’s peers. Nobody even challenges him on that. The talking heads don’t have the guts (integrity) to point out that it’s supposed to be a jury of the accused, George Zimmerman!
Shhh!
Let the morons run. It makes yanking the chain that much better.
OJ Simpson, Jesse . . . there’s your “diverse” jury
